Administrative data

First-aid measures

First aid general principles - Important information:

In case of doubt or in the presence of symptoms contact a physician, and show him/her the material safety data sheet. In case of severe symptoms, call your local health care emergency number. Call a poison control center in order to receive toxicological advice for the clinical management of poisoning. Do not administer anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

First aid general principles - Inhalation:

In case of symptoms arising from inhalation of fumes or mists or vapours (cough, dyspnea) move the person to fresh air, place in a semi-seated position, and administer oxygen.

If casualty is unconscious and:

- Not breathing: ensure that there is no obstruction to breathing and give artificial respiration by trained personnel. If necessary, give external cardiac

massage and obtain medical assistance.

- Breathing: place in the recovery position and contact the doctor. Administer oxygen if necessary.

If there is any suspicion of inhalation of H2S:

- Rescuers must wear breathing apparatus, belt and safety rope, and follow rescue procedures;

- Move immediately the patient to the hospital;

- Immediately begin artificial respiration if breathing has ceased.

- Provision of oxygen if necessary.

First aid general principles - Skin contact:

Remove contaminated clothing and footwear and dispose of safely; flush the skin with copious amounts of water (and soap, if possible). Consult a physician if there are symptoms of skin irritation and/or pain. Never use gasoline, Kerosene or other solvent. When using high-pressure equipment, injection of product can occur.

If high-pressure injuries occur, immediately seek professional medical attention. Do not wait for symptoms to develop and transfer immediately the patient to the hospital.

For minor thermal burns: Cool the burn. Hold the burned area under cold running water for at least five minutes, or until the pain subsides. However, body hypothermia must be avoided. Do not apply ice on the burned area and do NOT try to remove the clothing attached to the burned area, but cut the profiles. Seek medical attention.

First aid general principles - Eye contact:

Remove contact lenses and if it is possible. Flush the eyes, kept open, with copious amounts of running water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician, especially if there are symptoms of eye irritation and/or pain.

First aid general principles - Ingestion:

Do not administer anything by mouth unless advised to do so by a poison control center. Do not induce vomiting as there is high risk of aspiration; in case

of spontaneous vomiting take the head down in order to prevent aspiration risk. Rinse the mouth and consult a physician. Do not administer anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Fire-fighting measures

General information:

Move all people away and stay upwind of the fire. Do not enter closed rooms without adequate protection.

Suitable extinguishing media:

use standard extinguishing media:

- Foam (Specifically trained personnel only)

- Water fog (Specifically trained personnel only)

- Dry chemical powder

- Carbon dioxide

- Other inert gases (subject to regulations

- Sand or earth In the choice of extinguishing media, consider the other materials involved in the fire.

Extinguishing media which shall not be used for safety reasons:

Water. Use water only for cooling hot surfaces of tanks involved in the fire.

Do not use direct water jets on the burning product; they could cause splattering and spread the fire.

Simultaneous use of foam and water on the same surface is to be avoided as water destroys the foam.

Exposure hazards arising from the substance itself, combustion products, resulting gases:

incomplete combustion is likely to give rise to a complex mixture of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases, including carbon monoxide, H2S, SOx (sulfur oxides) or sulfuric acid and unidentified organic and inorganic compounds.

Protective equipment for fire-fighters:

No special equipment for this substance is needed. Use standard fire-fighters equipment.

In case of a large fire or in confined or poorly ventilated spaces wear full fire resistant protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
